Tūmanako! (Hope!) is a yearly art exhibition for children and young people to express their hopes for an inclusive Aotearoa where all lives are valued, and to support a nuclear-free world. In times of conflict and division, Tūmanako! helps them learn about the root causes of violence and encourages peace.

Organised by SGINZ and supported by Wellington City Council, the exhibition was opened at Johnsonville Library Waitohi in August and is now coming to the city to be displayed across two neighbouring galleries: Thistle Hall Community Gallery and Te Whare Manaaki o Toda peace gallery - come and visit them both!

This year’s theme is inspired by a whakataukī:

Kotahi te kākano whakaaro, he nui ngā hua o te rākau houhou rongo.
One seed of thought grows the forest of peace.
